But when I saw the Yankees score, I was able to sleep perfectly well.<BR/><BR/>It's true that the Yankees have been on a roll and have picked up a few games on the Sox in a short time, but we've seen this before. How long have the Yankees been in first place this season? Oh yeah...one day. One freakin' day. Even if it comes down to those final three games in Fenway, I like Boston's odds at clinching the AL East.<BR/><BR/>However, I'd feel a lot better if the Sox bats would wake up. Starting against Tampa Bay. Sweeping the D-Rays would make me and probably the rest of RSN feel a whole lot better.mousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1127142478051978472005-09-19T11:07:00.000-04:002005-09-19T11:07:00.000-04:00yeah, all you are hearing is the yanks are getting...yeah, all you are hearing is the yanks are getting close, the sox can feel their breath on their necks and hear their footsteps, sox fans are getting nervous and paranoid, but ...<BR/><BR/>they never reach the sox. and they certainly do not overtake them. they come close and then fall back.<BR/><BR/>no one adds that second part, though.redsockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-1127140544562944472005-09-19T10:35:00.000-04:002005-09-19T10:35:00.000-04:00Yikes! Am I ever glad I saw the game on NESN; that...Yikes! Am I ever glad I saw the game on NESN; that anti-gay banter is astounding for a national broadcast. Jerry and Don were very soothing and relaxed. For the record, I assumed the Sox would lose 1-2 games in the standings during a stretch where they were playing much the better opponants than NY (also assuming the Devel Ray hex had run its course, which it had). I look at the Yanks as Sissiphus...they have these 5-6 game streaks in which they overcome late deficits and whittle down the Sox lead, then the stone rolls back down the hill as they play .500 for 8 or 10 games and the Sox get the lead back up. If that happens again, and I think it will, the Sox lead will be back to 3.5 games by this time next week, and it will be all over but the shouting. The real downer yesterday was the injury to Youk. The Sox are going to have to get creative to patch up the bench for the play-offs. Foulke looked better too...not so good that I'd want him on the play-off roster, but he's making progress.Jack Marshallhttp://www.ethicsscoreboard.ocmnoreply@blogger.com
